'Tiger Slam' set sold for record $5.2MM

[Tarheelvolvo]

While tiger was struggling at Augusta on Saturday, his old set of clubs from 2000/2001 that helped him achieve victory at the 2000 US Open, British Open, PGA Championship, and the 2001 Master to become the first player in history to hold all 4 titles simultaneously set an auction record with a selling price of $5,156,162.

The set consists of nine Titleist 681-T irons, 2i-PW, and two Vokey wedges, 58* and 60*, both with the "TIGER" stamp on them. 

All clubs have been verified by multiple sources inside Titleist with signed affidavits.

The previous owner purchased the clubs for $57,242 back in 2010...so looks like he had a better weekend than even Scottie Scheffler!! 

So what do you guys think? Was this the deal of the century to own a piece of history, or a flop for $5.2M? If you had the coin to buy them, would you, or what would you buy instead (golf related)?

As an investment: so long as there's a market for sports memorabilia, Tiger's stuff would have to be the most coveted in golf. Over the past couple of years, the memorabilia market has been insane; I have to suspect it'll cool at some point. But in the next up cycle, I'd guess these retain and increase in value.

For my part: I'm simply stunned that these ever got out of Tiger's possession.

It’s an interesting story because Tiger and his agent claim the set used is still in tigers house.

Also have seen some post about the set sold has a wear spot on the irons and that’s something that hasn’t been seen on the clubs Tiger used for the wins. Now it could be a set used during the season.

Yeah, that's why these are so interesting! Two Titleist VP's have signed affidavits that they are the real deal, so perhaps it was "one" set used during the tiger slam, but given that he could get new clubs for every tournament, or just whenever he wants to, perhaps the set he used last are in his house and these were used earlier in that same time frame....

Yeah. His backup putter went for almost 4O0k and he still has the original that I think even his kids can’t touch. So I would imagine he has the the ones that matter most are in his possession
